Fitness First is possibly the most popular gym in the tube. Reason? They have so many subdivisions. largely in promenades. doing them the most accessible gym in the Philippines. First Impressions: Nice and plenty equipment
The first thing that will catch your attending upon come ining Fitness First ( particularly in their new subdivisions ) are their legion. large. high-quality TechnoGym fittingness equipment. If you of all time had the opportunity to be toured by their staff inside the gym. you will see a batch of equipment which are evidently imported. Having legion equipment is a large advantage for its members because you wouldn’t have to wait for one individual to complete exerting before you are able to utilize the equipment. You can utilize it anytime you want. Aside from holding tonss of equipment. you will detect excessively that unlike other gyms. you do non necessitate to convey your ain padlock because their cabinets are already equipped with its ain lock. One thing about their installations though that makes me wonder is why they are functioning softdrinks as portion of their free privileges. I mean. most people are at that place to lose weight and eat healthy so why the demand for it?
Peoples and Trainers
Depending on the subdivision. you’ll see that the population working out at Fitness First are 60 % male and around 40 % female. You will besides see some high-profile people and famous persons working out at that place ( merely like in Gold’s Gym ) which means that it’s a high-class gym. Based on the sort of people who work out. it appears to me that Fitness First is more of a “tone the muscles” gym alternatively of a organic structure constructing gym like Gold’s. The nine prides itself in their 1:1 trainer-trainee ratio. However. I found out that acquiring a personal trainer is non inexpensive.
I don’t average to generalise but I have besides been told that if you are a cat. and you are a novice. you might be a small overwhelmed by their trainers since they normally push people to the bound. This may look like a good thing for intermediate to expert gym-goers but for novices. it may be a bad thing. Anyway. I’m non mentioning to all trainers but merely some. It’s up to you to look into them out. Ratess These are the rates for Fitness First regular subdivisions.
1 twelvemonth place rank ( exercise at 1 subdivision merely ) : 2. 500 Pesos per month1 twelvemonth passport rank ( exercise at any of Fitness First regular subdivisions ) : 2. 600 Pesos per month 4 months place rank ( exercise at 1 subdivision merely ) : 2. 800 Pesos per month4 months passport rank ( exercise at any of Fitness First regular subdivisions ) : 2. 900 Pesos per month Note that existent rates may change. They accept recognition cards for monthly installments or hard currency if you wish to pay in full. They besides have an admin fee and it varies from subdivision to subdivision. In instance you were inquiring. Fitness First besides has two premium subdivisions with higher rank costs. These subdivisions are called Fitness First Platinum ( one of which is located in Trinoma and the other in RCBC Plaza ) . These subdivisions are sole because they have added installations and privileges. I think they cost above 3. 500 per month the last clip I checked. Could anyone confirm?
GOLD’S GYM
This is portion 1 of a series of stations speaking about popular gyms in the state.
Gold’s Gym exposure
Last weekend. I got the opportunity to see Gold’s Gym in Waltermart North Edsa. It has been rather a piece since I visited one of their subdivisions and this clip I was stunned. First Impressions: A Boxing Gym?
When I entered Gold’s Gym in Waltermart. my attending was caught by their pugilism ring. Surprising isn’t it? It’s non common to see one in a fittingness gym and if I remember it right. they ne’er had a pugilism pealing the last clip I checked one of their subdivisions a few old ages ago. Harmonizing to their staff. it’s a new characteristic of their gym after Elorde packaging gym was bought by Gold’s. Now. about all Gold’s gym subdivisions have a pugilism ring so if you think you have the Manny Pacquiao in you. travel in front and look into out any of Gold’s gym subdivisions.
Boxing Ringing
Equipment and Peoples
I was toured by one of their forces inside the gym. It’s non that large ( compared to their other subdivisions ) but I was impressed by their equipment particularly their complete line of weights. cardio equipment and if I may state it once more – their pugilism ring. I must acknowledge that I truly wanted to seek to acquire into the ring ( at least to hold a feel what it’s like to be a pugilist ) but excessively bad. there was a boxing lucifer the clip I visited so possibly following clip. Their pieces of equipment are of superb and first-class quality. However. I think that they need to add more since there were merely a few and I’m non certain if they are adequate for all the gym-goers in that subdivision during peak hours. I would besides wish to add that you need to convey your ain padlock for the cabinets. With their equipment suited for bodybuilding. I can state that Gold’s Gym is extremely recommendable for those who want to acquire large musculuss ( merely take a expression at the logo of Gold’s Gym ) . I think that muscle builders are their mark market and is likely the chief ground why there were merely a few adult females working out when I visited.
Ratess and Payment
Their staff was sort adequate to explicate to me their rates as follows:
Unlimited WORK-OUTS:
Fee: P25. 200 – ( good for 1 twelvemonth: P2. 100 per month )
FIXED NUMBER OF WORK OUTS – 144 visits per twelvemonth ( around 3 times per hebdomad ) : Fee: P16. 500 ( good for the full twelvemonth: P 1. 375 per month )
Note that existent rates may change and this does non include the boxing installation. They accept recognition cards for monthly installments or hard currency if you wish to pay in full. If you will detect from the above rates. you will salvage more on a fixed figure of Sessionss instead than limitless. While this may give you less freedom to work-out whenever you feel like. I still think that it is more economical since the ideal figure of times to exert is 3-4 times a hebdomad. so it is decidedly deserving it! But if you believe that you are a gym rat. I bet that the limitless one is the right thing for you!
Gym Guide ( portion 3 ) : Slimmers Worldby Chris · April 13. 2009 This is portion 3 and the last of a series of stations speaking about popular gyms in the state. slimmers-world
I can retrieve back in the late 90?s that Slimmers World was the first thing that came to my head when people mention the word “gym” . Let’s face it: Slimmers World was among the first in the state to set up a gym inside SM Malls and although there is a batch of competition now. they still continue to go one of the top picks when it comes to gyms. First Impressions: More of a ladies’ gym? I don’t know why but I have an feeling that about half of the people who work out at Slimmers are adult females. Possibly because they used to be the patron gym of Binibining Pilipinas during the late 90?s. I think this 1 is a good thing particularly when you are looking for topographic points to happen adult females.
Another feeling that I have which seems unusual is that the gym’s response looks like a infirmary. Yeah. you read it right – a infirmary. This is because most of their forces are have oning doctor’s apparels which will do you believe you are traveling for a medical check-up. On the bright side. this gives them an “expert” expression when it comes to wellness and fittingness. Peoples and EquipmentBased on what I’ve seen in their subdivision at SM City North EDSA. their gym-goers are truly serious people who are truly into acquiring in best form.
Harmonizing to friends who have been in assorted gyms. Slimmers World trainers are truly one of the best. They seem to be existent experts in fittingness. However. when it comes to their pieces of equipment. some of them are rather old ( I guess they need to replace them ) and merely a few. I remember that during peak hours. you may hold to wait until the machines are vacant before you can utilize them. I think they need to better in this country. RatesThe rates are pretty competitory and they do hold a assortment of options below. Harmonizing to their gross revenues forces they accept hard currency or recognition card as payment Buy 1 month. acquire 1 month
